Abstract
A reusable hose bundling sleeve having hooks and loops attached to an elongated section of material. The loops have a portion that extends beyond an edge of the elongated section and the portion of the loops has an identifiable portion.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed:
1. A reusable hose bundling sleeve system, comprising:
a plurality of reusable hose bundling sleeves;
each reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves having an elongated section of material having a front surface and an opposite reverse surface, wherein the elongated section of material extends between a first edge and a second edge that is opposite the first edge; and
each reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves having a strip of loops attached on the front surface and the first edge so that a portion of the loops extends outwardly beyond the first edge of the elongated section of material in a direction opposite the second edge, wherein the portion of the loops that extends beyond the first edge has an identifiable portion configured to visibly distinguish each reusable hose bundling sleeve from each other reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves, such that each reusable hose bundling sleeve can be associated with the identifiable portion selected from a group consisting of reflective material, color, letters, words, symbols, pictures, designs, and patterns.
2. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 wherein a strip of hooks are attached to the opposite reverse surface.
3. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 2 wherein the identifiable portion includes the entirety of the strip of hooks and loops.
4. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 further comprising a first lip formed on the front edge.
5. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 4 wherein the front edge is folded over to form the first lip.
6. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 4 wherein the strip of loops is attached directly over the first lip.
7. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 wherein the elongated section of material is coated with urethane.
8. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 wherein the strip of loops is coated with urethane.
9. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 further comprising a strip of hooks attached to the reverse surface and the second edge.
10. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 9 wherein a width of the strip of hooks and a width of strip of loops comprise two-fifths of a width of the elongated section of material.
11. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 further comprising a layer of low-temperature adhesive applied between the strip of loops and the elongated section of material.
12. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 further comprising a notch along a length of the section of material and the strip of loops, wherein the notch is configured to permit a larger conduit to extend from an interior of the section of the material to an exterior of the section of material when the section of material is wrapped around the larger conduit.
13. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 1 further comprising at least one strap configured to secure the sleeve around a conduit when the section of material is wrapped around the conduit.
14. A reusable hose bundling sleeve system, comprising:
a plurality of reusable hose bundling sleeves;
each reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves having an elongated section of material having a front surface and an opposite reverse surface and a first edge opposite a second edge wherein the elongated section of material extends between a first edge and a second edge that is opposite the first edge; and
a strip of loops attached on the front surface and the first edge, wherein the strip of loops have an identifiable portion that is configured to visibly distinguish each reusable hose bundling sleeve from each other reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves, such that each reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of reusable hose bundling sleeves can be associated with the identifiable portion.
15. A reusable hose bundling sleeve system, comprising:
a plurality of reusable hose bundling sleeves;
each reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves having an elongated section of material having a front surface and an opposite reverse surface and a first edge opposite a second edge;
a first lip formed on the front surface by folding over the first edge and a second lip on the reverse surface formed by folding over the second edge;
a strip of loops attached on the front surface and the first edge, wherein the strip of loops have an identifiable portion that is configured to visibly distinguish each reusable hose bundling sleeve from each other reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of hose bundling sleeves, such that each reusable hose bundling sleeve of the plurality of reusable hose bundling sleeves can be associated with the identifiable portion; and
a strip of hooks attached to the reverse surface and the second edge.
16. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 15 wherein the strip of loops is attached directly over the first lip and the strip of hooks is attached directly over the second lip.
17. The reusable hose bundling sleeve system of claim 16 wherein a portion of the strip of loops extends beyond the first edge of the elongated section of material, and wherein the portion of the loops that extends beyond the first edge has the identifiable portion.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
